I want to believe there are very smart people studying these "strategic" issues, with mathematical models and stuff. That is : beyond the technical aspects, the implementation strategies, science return/cost ratios and whatnot.
NASA used to be good at implementing incremental approaches to projects, weren't they? I mean isn't the Apollo program a perfect example of it? If they seem less incremental in their approach to space observatories, I assume they have good reasons.

Am I being naive?
